DR: Jim, I guess you subscribe only to individualism in ethics and social measures. If that is your direction, so be it. Go ahead and remove Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Hosea, and Malachi from your Bible since you don't believe what they say.
Of course, I do, and so do you, guessing or not. I'm responsible for only my thinking/behavior. I don't subscribe to the collective mores of this country or to that of thousands of churches. I decide the nature of my ethics and how it affects social measures, or attempts to effect social measures. My individual psyche will make me function within that context, as per my determined Ethic (as long as I don't adversely impact other people). I'll take a pass on the Bible destruction since I haven't the faintest idea of what you mean by that undertaking. Some folks in this forum have already removed part of or all of Genesis, so what else is new?
